Sony Cybershot DSCW170/B 10.1MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot (Black) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great little camera
Comment: This camera is fantastic! It is very resilient. I got it wet while traveling and it was foggy for a half hour and then dried itself out. It also bounced around my purse for three weeks in Europe with no problem. It takes great pictures and works well at night. The zoom feature works very well and switching between the easy and auto feature is easy. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a light camera they can take anywhere.

Summary: Love my little Sony camera
Comment: Needed a pocket sized camera to have handy and capture the moments in everyday life. The dsc-w170 is wonderful. It has many functions, yet you can start taking great picture right out of the package. We have the Sony Hybrid and love it but considered it too much for hauling around on trips and everyday stuff -- thus this Sony purchase.

Also with a memory card it can dispaly thousands of pictures -- great brag book - can just do a slide show and share!!

Summary: Sony Cybershot
Comment: I love the camera. This is my third Sony and would never purchase another brand. They are easy to use and take amazing pictures. I have a custom bridal business and use the camera to keep a portfolio of my creations. It never disappoints.

Summary: E91:01 error
Comment: The camera is good. But only after 2 weeks of use, I got the E91:01 error. (Google for it). Initializing the camera didn't help. Sony's online chat support was profoundly uninformed and unhelpful and asked to send the camera back for repair (shipping costs mine) since as per the "analyst" it has an internal malfunction. So now I have a camera with no flash. I can take pictures fine except have to turn off the flash.
Anyways this is going back to Amazon. They already issued an RMA. So buying this camera is a gamble -- a significant number of people get the E91:01 error and Sony's tech support is clueless.

Summary: OK but.........
Comment: This is the 2nd Cyber-Shot camera that I have purchased. It is a great little point and shoot. This model however seems to be much more sensitive then the 120 I previously owned. Many of my photos are blurred. I use this model exactly as I did for my 120 and the % of bluured shots is greatly increased on the 170. Seems a mono or Trip Pod will need to be my next purchase although that removes the convenience of ownin a point and shoot.

So the camera and its features are ok but the Jury is still out.
